  1. The Cavalry is saddling up and headed your way shortly...
  2. Get another pair made up expressly for shooting, it worked out great for me. Target can be a bit out of focus but front sight is clear and both front and rear on pistols are clear.
  3. Now, I just need too recalibrate my wallet😎
  4. I thought that was gonna be the case. I have a Gen 1 on a 16" 458 Socom, it's a might heavy but has great balance. I was thinking on replacing the STR on my 308 due too it feeling a bit front heavy but that beast is already at 14 pounds.
  5. Has anyone ever converted the Magpul UBR Gen 1 to use a 7 5/8" tube?
  6. Got some nice weather today so dropped by the range. No problems whatsoever, bolt locked back on all magazines (D&H) no failures to feed or eject. Final settings on gas block (SLR Sentry 7 Adjustable) about 1/2 way with empty's landing apx. 6' away @ about 2:30. Brass looks great, no dings, scrapes or ejector marks. I drilled the gas port to .093, changed out the Aero carbine recoil system to the Griffin Maritime AR10 setup and had to install 2 quarters to make it 7 5/8". I also upped the buffer to 5.7oz from 4.9oz. With the VG6 Epsilon muzzle break and a Limbsaver recoil pad on the Magpul STR stock evrything just purrs right along. I thank you all for all the valuable input, the plan came together smoothly. Todays testing was done with 308 Win 150grn FMJ, I'll most likely have to adjust some things when I run the better ammo. For now I'm pretty stoked!
  7. I would like to know where to purchase some myself.
  8. So far everything appears to be looking good, we'll see when I get to the range.
  9. Thank You, I'll post up how it all works out. Another question if I may, number 10 on the waterboarding list those pictures are with the BCG fully compressing the recoil spring, correct?
  10. EDIT: A suppressor is not out of the realm of possibilities in the future just not possible at this time.
  11. I have not shot the rifle yet and I have no plans for a suppressor. I have not drilled the barrel yet, planning on doing that this Thursday so no problem on drilling the port at .090. Might get to shoot over the weekend.
  12. This is my first foray into the large frame AR and I'm close to function testing. I'm positive the gas port will need enlarging, the port measures .845 and it is supposed to be .890. My plan is to go to .960. AP M5 upper & lower with their 308 18" cmv nitrided barrel, rifle length gas system .750 Gas Journal with AP standard gas block and AP ar15 rifle length gas tube (15-3/16") which is centered in the cam pin cutout AP barrel spec says gas port should be .890 this barrel measures .845 7" RET and 2-1/2" buffer have been replaced with a Griffin AR10 tube (7-5/8") Spring 13-1/2" 35 coils and SOB buffer @ 4.9 oz. that I borrowed from another rifle BCG is an AP melonited with the MPI + HP bolt which has the round ejector If the new .960 port proves to be too large, I have an adjustable gas block I can pilfer if need be. Am I on the right track or not?
